Crafting and gathering

Every class can learn the main crafting and gathering skills: fishing, mining, lumberjacking, cooking, alchemy, and blacksmithing. Pick the ones that support your gear, food, potions, or economy goals.

How to build around Hunter

• Prioritize distance and dexterity.
• Dagger is also a strong close-range option.
• Hunter is more forgiving than Rogue if you dabble in average physical skills, but it still shines most with ranged play.
• Magic is the weakest basic direction for this class.

Good early goals

• Keep ammunition or ranged resources in mind when using distance weapons.
• Maintain a practical backup plan for close-range situations.
• Take advantage of Hunter’s distance/dexterity synergy instead of spreading SP across too many weapons.
